This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success Podcast.

Welcome to part two of our discussion today.

We are talking about how to heal racism.

And now we're going to turn our attention to the healthy, anti-racist developmental process for hopefully a little bit of direction and guidance to how to cultivate this perspective and orientation in our own lives.

So we talk a lot on this show about matters of personal growth and self-development,

all related to love, happiness, and success. And, you know, I was thinking recently that I can't remember, you know, how many times I've said on this show, things like, no one teaches you

how to have a great relationship. And that's why we have to have these conversations

we are all individually responsible for learning over time in order to be a mentally and emotionally

and spiritually well person, right?

And there is education and investment into developing these abilities, like through couples

counseling or through individual therapy or coaching to really help you learn and develop

these aspects of yourself to help you

achieve these important personal goals, right?

And I was reflecting recently, especially in light of, you know, this sort of new, new

tide, new awareness in our country, in our culture about the impact and legacy of racism

in our society. And I think what I've also been hearing from everyone from clients to personal

friends, to family members, to colleagues is a real desire, particularly in white people, to do something to help and to be a force of good

in the world that is an effective way of beginning to really and meaningfully solve some of the

destructive racist patterns that we see in our culture.

And, you know, nobody teaches you how to have relationships, right?

But certainly, at least when it comes to white culture, there is zero conversation about how to develop a healthy white racial identity
